Could they realistically ascend
Probably not, I think they could make it to the ascension tournament though, the top 2-3 of NA will probably beat them tho
i mean they already beat all of these Tier 2 teams already. The only teams they haven't faced are M80 and Cubert Academy, and Cubert can't ascend.
I will say they are a little weaker without N1ghtz, but ion3x is still insane.
The thing is about this team is they really can't get anti'd since they don't have strats, they just pug all their matches and midround macro playstyle, it is possible they make it but we will have to see how they play against M80 and then we can have this conversation. Right now, everything is in the air, the ascension tournament is so long from stage 1. Everybody thought OXG was going to win ascension 100% then they don't even make it.
thats best last year format was actually AWFUL. this format atleast rewards consistency and ascension is very close up in the year. teams that look good rn are likely going to be the ones going
